Former lawmaker, Senator Shehu Sani, has hailed Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah’s recent defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC) as a strategic boost for the South East.
Sani described the move as a welcome development for the region, stating it would strengthen the South East's position in Nigeria's mainstream political structure.
“Governor Mbah’s defection to the APC is a blessing to the South Eastern part of the country. It is a strategic decision that will factor the region into the mainstream political equation in Nigeria,”
Sani dismissed criticisms of Mbah’s decision, insisting it should not be seen as betrayal but as a bold step to prevent the South East from political isolation at the federal level.
